Finding the best holiday destinations for sun at the right time is not always straightforward. Tropical weather can be fickle, and there is more to finding the best climate than simply heading south. Looking for winter sun? Some parts of the Caribbean and south-east Asia can be wet or unsettled until at least Christmas. And mid-winter is the rainy season in parts of the Indian Ocean.

So to aid in your quest, we've launched this new online tool: The Heatseeker. It will help you find out which countries are hot based on the month you want to go - and how far you're willing to fly. Alongside our selections are links to relevant travel guides, each written by an expert who knows the destination inside out, their favourite hotels, and a special deal from one of our recommended tour operators offering sunshine holidays.
